Children's Montessori

Although a traditional learning environment certainly has its place, it doesn’t always help children to develop an alternate way of seeing the world and solving problems. Instilling these ideas at an early age can help you develop their reasoning and problem-solving skills.

It’s important to remember that today’s preschool programs can be about so much more than just providing a safe place for your children while you’re at work. Whether you’re looking for a program that will help your children learn to better recognize letters or instill a love of culture, our Montessori preschool may be right for you.

Montessori teaching philosophies tend to differ from traditional schooling ideas because they can be applied when a child is still in infancy rather than waiting to become of age to start attending school.

We recognize that the mind of a young child can be more like a sponge than it will ever be again. Rather than letting your children fill their days with television and unstructured play, a Montessori preschool could give them a head start on the development of the skills and abilities that will serve them well as they get older.

One difference between a Montessori school and other preschools is that the teacher is not ‘the boss.’ Instead, children are taught to share and work together while exploring various stations in the classroom so they learn how to gain a sense of respect for one another.

Because students are encouraged to choose their interest of study for the day, the Montessori method introduces creativity into the classroom. If the child is interested in what they are studying, they pay closer attention and retain more knowledge.

The curriculum at a Montessori preschool focuses on key developmental milestones in children ages 3, 4, and 5. The focus for younger children is on muscle control and language skills, and there is a specific focus at each age.

At our school, we believe in freeing a child’s potential and finding ways to form the best human being possible when it’s time for him or her to enter the real world. We use imagination to show the beauty in science and math.

Want your child to be able to be a child, while continuing to help them learn throughout their day? You should consider the Montessori tradition, which is set up in such a way that children do exactly that every day.

Do you imagine a school room where students learn from each other, and have the freedom to explore a variety of different opportunities at their own pace? Then you may find that a Montessori school will meet your family’s needs to a T.

Montessori preschool curricula encourage the completion of everyday activities so that students leave for home with a sense of accomplishment. In fact, this emphasis on completion and accomplishment has been shown to cause students to become excited about returning to school the next day.

Montessori preschools concentrate on each child’s individual needs instead of a teacher leading a class. We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being, Maria Montessori said.

Did you know that President Woodrow Wilson’s daughter was a trained Montessori teacher? While he was president, she even had a Montessori classroom set up in the White House. That would definitely be an interesting place to say that you went to pre-school!
